Making the case for Mitt

Dana Milbank of the Washington Post thinks Mitt Romney should run for the Senate from Utah.  Mitt probably will if Orrin Hatch decides not to run again.

Let's all hope that happens, even though Mitt is a Republican.  Because it's extremely unlikely Utah would elect a Democrat.

Run, Mitt, Run (the column)

Two excerpts are below. In the article, the first one has links to all the examples listed.

"And Hatch wants colleagues to “get behind him [Trump] in every way we can.” That would include backing Trump’s defense of white supremacists, his vulgar tweets, his endless attacks on the rule of law and the institutions of democracy, and, yes, his embrace of a credibly accused child molester for the Senate. Hatch, after enjoying a ride on Air Force One this month, excused Trump’s endorsement of Roy Moore and said the alleged offenses “were decades ago.”

"The lapsed CHIP program now hangs by a thread, and while Hatch says he favors renewing the program, he frets that “we don’t have money anymore.” This as he helped push through a $1.5 trillion tax cut paid for with debt."

May I now add something to "Run, Mitt, Run"?

"Begone, Orrin, Begone".

Let us all hope, indeed.
